Demjaku, grandson of Demnime Kosterkin (1926–1980) who was perhaps the last Nganasan shaman who held traditional way of living in tundra.

Quick pushback/clarification here, as someone who lived in a town that was majority Alaska natives.

Most Arctic peoples are not Inuit, and the terms are not interchangeable. The Inuit are a specific people, and a lot of other tribes find it pretty insulting to get lumped in as one bit group under that name. It's like calling all Europeans Swedes.

The people I lived around were mostly Yupik and Tlingit, with a few Aleut folks. They actually preferred "Eskimo" as a broad term over Inuit, but their ideal would be their actual names.

If you want to refer to the natives of the Arctic and surrounding areas as a group, Arctic peoples is better. If they're specifically from Alaska, you can instead go with Alaska natives (and yes, it's Alaska, not Alaskan).

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

The Ancients: History of the Inuit

In this instalment of The Ancients we're going north of the Arctic circle to uncover the incredible story of the Thule Inuit. Expanding out from present day Alaska east across North America all the way to Greenland more than 1,000 years ago, the early Inuit managed to survive and thrive in freezing cold conditions. But how exactly did they do so? What did they hunt? And how did they live?

Tristan Hughes invites archeologist Raven Todd daSilva onto the podcast to explore the lifestyle of some of the Arctic's earliest inhabitants - from the sophisticated subterranean houses they built to the huge range of gadgets that they used to hunt whales, bears, caribou and seals. It is a gripping tale of survival, but also one of astonishing ancient innovation.

a little detail that i noticed (and adore) about alex is how sometimes he gets so comfortable with some of the people he meets that he just takes photos with them by glueing his cheek/forehead/whole face on them in such a lovely way, like this:

chrisfloydarchive: Arctic Monkeys, New York & Philadelphia, March 2006

I had been living in New York for six years and this was the last shoot I did before moving permanently back to London, five days later. I travelled by train with the band from New York to Philadelphia. The group portrait was taken after the soundcheck but before the gig at the Starlight in the City of Brotherly Love. They were such a dry, detached, taciturn bunch. Almost completely withdrawn from engaging with me or the writer with whom I was working. I've been around a lot of bands from the north of England and one thing that so many of them have in common is an almost pathological inability to be anything other than doggedly withdrawn, circumspect, aloof and closed off in the company of outsiders. It feels like a default, built-in setting. We were not made to feel welcome. Not in an aggressive way, but in a zero effort, suit yourself, couldn't be arsed way. So I decided to mine that seam by asking them to do absolutely nothing for my camera. Just sit or stand there and give me your best passport faces, which they were able to do in a multitude of identical ways. Brilliant gig though.

The heck do you mean by that Gary

[beatfein]

She looks as if she's blowing a kiss at me

And suddenly the sky is a scissor

Sitting on the floor with a tambourine

Crushing up a bundle of love

Don't take it so personally

You're not the only one

That time has got it in for, honey

That's where you're wrong
